Helion Says Halving Power-Electronics Loss Would Double Fusion Output

Helion's current power devices lose about 5% to 10% of the electricity flowing through them, CEO David Kirtley says, and halving that semiconductor loss would double its fusion system's output. Helion signed a Letter of Intent for a $175 million, three-year CHIPS Act award from the U.S. Department of Commerce, and plans a semiconductor production line in Washington State.
